What are the requirements to get a divorce in North Carolina? The only grounds for divorce are that the couple has to be separated for one year before filing for the divorce, and at least one of you has lived in North Carolina for the last 6 months.
North Carolina has a program that will waive the court costs if you cannot afford them.
If you receive SSI or SNAP, you can have your court costs waived. If you do not benefit from one of those programs but make less than $2000 per month, you can still apply to have them waived. For more information, click here: Indigency Waiver
